Dear Patsy and family,
Pam and I were very sorry to hear of your father's passing which reminded us of how blessed we were to have met your Dad here at Foxlair many years ago.
Having read your Dad's extensive obituary, we were extremely impressed with all he accomplished during a very full life of service, both in the military and in the medical field.
Our thoughts will be with you today and during your period of grief.
Blessings always, Pam and Bill Fleming
